REPARATION TO ST. JOSEPH

REPARATION TO ST. JOSEPH 

 

Though this is an old story, I just found out about it now:

In Morro Agudo, Brazil, a 19-year-old man made a joke in bad taste. He simulated a sex act with a statue of St. Joseph, the city's patron saint, and posted photos of the act on his social network. The act angered the city's Catholic community. The man later removed the post and apologized citing that he didn't know it was the statue of a saint, even though the statue is in front of a church.

Regardless of this story being 4 years old and the apology that came, an act of reparation should still be made for this act. So please offer a prayer to comfort St. Joseph and also for the young man to receive the graces he needs for his spiritual welfare.

Hail Joseph, son of David, God is with you!

Blessed are you amongst men and blessed is our Lord Jesus Christ! Holy Joseph, Guardian of the Redeemer, forgive those who desecrate your images, send them the graces they need, and accept our humble embrace in reparation for their sins. +Amen.
